167. Deputy John Perry asked the Minister for Health if he will ensure that a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath is provided a Prader Willie Syndrome 24 residential support plan; should the lead time for such a placement be extensive, how the person can be supported in a United Kingdom-Northern Ireland Prader Willie residential unit until a place becomes available here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE
